I wanted to survey the community to find out what other investors have done for property number 5 and up.

So we put earnest dwn $2010 survey $440 and appraisal $550 so 2 days ago the appraisal came back at 230k, my realtor is inexperienced in short sales and had comps for 210k, so he really don't know what to expect.

You can upload surveys, plans and any other details and then they will connect you with contractors in your area.

We Do have our own survey scheduled for all of the lots connected and rental property lot.2. 

Even if the roof is falling in it's probably still cheaper to just repair it, all the infrastructure, utilities, surveys, permits, soil studies etc cost a fortune.  

It is typically best for big value add projects, not small 3k/unit rehabs since the survey itself cost you a few thousand bucks. https://www.irs.gov/businesses/cost-segregation-au...

Analyzing deals and surveying the market.

Some of the issues we are running into that are either slowing the deal up or terminating the file completely. 1) Liens/judgements arising during the title search preventing the sale2) One off issues, such as shared driveway issues, shared parcel issues3) Death certificate ordering (slowing down process) 4) Abstract & Survey updating (taking about 3 weeks to complete in our area) 5) Attorney Communication (When our attorneys are not on one side of the deal) These are just some of the issues that we are seeing in our market.
